The experimental site in the bog is equipped with 1 km long walking boards, which cross the main bog vegetation types and facilitate researcher’s access to perform experiments and measurements in and above the peatland, without disturbing the ecosystem. Distributed across the field site are clusters of thermologgers, water level recorders, chambers for measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes and other research sites.
